With respect to subprogramme 1, it was pointed out that while it was appropriate for the Office of Legal Affairs to advise bodies that were part of the United Nations system on “formulation of statements of public international law and analysis of specific legal issues”, it was not the mandate of the Office to provide such advice to other governmental institutions, non-governmental institutions and the public.
Con respecto al subprograma 1, se señaló que, si bien era apropiado que la Oficina de Asuntos Jurídicos asesorara a organismos del sistema de las Naciones Unidas sobre la “formulación de declaraciones de derecho internacional público y análisis de gestiones jurídicas específicas”, su mandato no incluía prestar asesoramiento de esa índole a otras instituciones gubernamentales o no gubernamentales ni al público.
